Cookies. Raspberry Lemonade Bars. Warm Toasted Marshmallow Smore Bars. Poptarts-on-a-Stick and Bakerella's New Book. With a bucket full of fresh cherries and a package of premade pie crust in the fridge, my kids and I had plans to make a batch of Homemade Cherry Poptarts.

Poptarts-on-a-Stick and Bakerella's New Book

But, my clever 7-year-old, Alyssa, had an even better idea, “How ’bout we make little poptarts and put them on a stick like Cinderella?” ‘Cinderella’ here isn’t the fairy tale princess, it’s my Alyssa’s favorite blogger (and one of mine)–the delightsome Angie Dudley of Bakerella–creator of the original cupcake pop, and author of the new book Cake Pops . Bakerella’s original idea for a cupcake-on-a-stick was an overnight sensation, landing her a guest spot on the Martha Stewart Show, and a mulitude of other incredible opportunities to collaborate with top-notch companies.

It’s no wonder. Bakerella has a remarkable ability to create adorable ideas using everyday items: mini M&M’s, Necco Wafers, colored sprinkles. Which is exactly what our family thought last week of our Bakerella-Inspired PopTart Pops. Favorite page in your book? Two-Bite Strawberry Hand Pies.

Two-Bite Strawberry Hand Pies

Yes, kids, I am in Seattle for BlogHer Food 2012 and not just as an attendee, but I am speaking! I am nervous, but terribly excited, and ready to get the party started! The last month has been a CRAZY travel month for me. First, I went to Camp Blogaway, then I spent 6 days in Tokyo (expect a few Japanese themed recipes in the future – the place is life changing!) , and now I am here in Seattle. I decided to make the filling for these little pies fairly rich. Two-Bite Strawberry Hand Pies Author: Kelly Jaggers.

How to make Oreo lasagna. Colin Joliat Oreo lasagna is a perfect alternative to cake, or lasagna, or pretty much any food.

How to make Oreo lasagna

It’s easy enough that even I could figure out how to make it. Step your food game up with this dish fit for the internet. I come across a lot of things that make me say, “I should definitely try that.” Whether it’s a recipe for something ridiculous like Oreo lasagna or a new way to sneak alcohol into a game, there are brilliant ideas floating around on which none of us capitalize. Let the fun begin. Layer 2 is a crazy concoction of cream cheese, milk, sugar, and cool whip.

The third layer is where things started to go wrong. The penultimate layer is fancy talk for next-to-last. Finally, just add chocolate chips. Throw the whole thing in the freezer for an hour, have a few cocktails, and in no time you’re ready for the finest Oreo lasagna the internet has to offer. The one question you’ll probably have is, “What aisle is Cool Whip in?”
